What cracks me up is anytime someone points out Netflix's false
advertising, some nimrod always makes the comments like this idiot did.
It's not about not 'getting enough DVDs a month" it's about the company
making a claim you can do one thing and then blantantly and admittedly
not allowing it. If Netflix changed their advertising to "you can get
three a week" or "we hold onto your disk for a couple days if you get a
lot" then there wouldn't be a single comlpaint about throttling anymore
since they would be advertising that's what they do, instead of
advertising one thing and doing the opposite. So take your
self-rightous, holier-than-thou bullshit and sell it someone who gives
a shit about your lame ass opinion.
